ArcheAge Player Claims, Then Proves, They Can Crash Servers Whenever They Want

According to Massively, an ArcheAge player reported they found a bug in ArcheAge that was capable of bringing down servers.

And to prove it and to bring it to Trion’s attention, they apparently brought down servers on over the weekend at times they said they would. Twice.

Now I know that fixing bugs is important, but there’s got to be a better way than destroying something to show that it’s vulnerable. People are trying to play, and ArcheAge has had enough problems since launch as it is.

It’s also possible that the bug is now out in the wild. Servers crashed a few times after that, possibly because of other players exploiting the bug. Hopefully this at least means Trion Worlds will fix it so it can’t be used again.
